Sample Letter (You can use this one or write your own.)

Dear Mr. Madison,
We have made a list of the rights and freedoms we believe are most important to Americans. We hope this will help you decide what to include in the Bill of Rights.

We think freedom of speech should be inclued in The Bill of Rights. We think this should be inclued because we should be able to say whatever we want to say. Also it should be inclued because we should be in favor of a vararity of things. It should also be included because it's important to let them hear what we think. Also because we shouldn't go to jail for saying what we think.

We think freedom of decision should be inclued .We think it should be inclued because we should be able to decide upon ourself.Also because we should be incharge of what we do or say. It should be inclued because we should be able to think for ourselfs.The people of the world shouldn't be able to decide for us.

We think a right to a free education should be inclded to The Bill of Rights . We think this because we should be allowed to learn and allowed to acheive. Also people who don't have money shoud still be educated so they could make money one day.Also we should have some free education because we don't want to go bank reupt.Also because we shouldn't have to pay to learn.

We think a right to a fair trial should be inclued to The Bill of Rights. We think this should be included because we shouldn't just be called guilty. We should be able to defend ourselfs.We should be able to hire are own lawyer and tell them what we think and let them help us.
We should be able to say facts of what we did that night and show evidence.

We think we right to a safe enviroment should be added to The Bill of Rights . We think this because we should be able to be safe if we are in our own boundaries.We also think this because we should be able to go somewhere and not get sick because of it. Also because if we have kids outside we want them in a safe envirement not have danger.We also think so because we want most things to be safe not hurt.

We the undersigned agree that these rights and freedoms should be protected in the Bill of Rights.
